Hartlepool rejoiced after Pools got promoted in a dramatic match against Torquay United last Sunday, June 20.
The momentous occasion had to be marked accordingly – and what better way than with a parade?
Despite the damp weather, thousands of fans lined the streets of the town on Friday, June 25, to congratulate the squad and manager Dave Challinor.
